Capstone Academy

Capstone Academy describes its teaching approach as a personalized, honors-level education for motivated students with big dreams, delivered through small classes and focused instruction that build subject mastery, critical thinking, and student ownership of learning. The school emphasizes a compressed schedule that preserves time for students’ passions in the arts, athletics, and other pursuits, while partnering with parents to support the whole child through mutual respect, character, independence, and accountability.

Families begin by submitting Capstone Academy’s Request Information form; after that is reviewed, the school sends an account-creation link for FACTS/RenWeb, where parents complete a new student application and pay a nonrefundable $150 application fee. (capstoneacademy.com) Capstone says admissions are rolling rather than deadline-based, and it encourages families to apply as early as possible because spots are limited each semester. (capstoneacademy.com) The school also encourages applicants to schedule a shadow day or campus visit, and once an application is complete, the admissions committee reviews it based on factors including the current student body, teacher references, grades, and the overall application.
